PMEI — Brassica napus
Summary
BnPMEI (DARMORV10_A06P06110.1) on chromosome A06 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a pectinesterase inhibitor, belonging to the PCW enzyme inhibitor and pectinesterase inhibitor domain families. The gene is associated with pectin methylesterase inhibition, demethylation, downregulation of enzyme activity, and pectin breakdown. It has been connected to proline content and fungal resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the PMEI family to root length and root morphology traits. The encoded protein is predicted to localise to the cell wall.
